*International Rules Series 2006Ryan Crowley (born 5 March 1984) is an
Australian rules football er. He plays as a midfielder, half forward flanker or small forward and began his Football career atCalder Cannons Football Club in theTAC Cup .Fremantle career
Ryan played 20 AFL games in 2005. He was first drafted by Fremantle in 2002 with selection 55 at the national draft. At the end of 2004, having only played WAFL football for Subiaco, he was delisted. However the club gave Crowley a second chance and re-selected him with their 3rd pick in the rookie draft. Good form with Subiaco in 2005 led to his elevation to the senior list when both
Robert Haddrill and his replacement Michael Warren were placed on the long term injury list. His debut was notable in that he became only the 3rd Fremantle player to kick 3 goals on debut (along withLeigh Wardell-Johnson andPaul Medhurst ), and those goals helped Fremantle to record their first ever win atSkilled Stadium inGeelong .His continued good form in the second half of the 2005 season including 4 goals against Carlton at theMCG saw Ryan elevated to the senior list for the 2006 season. Early in the 2006 season, Ryan got a heavy blow to the face during a shepherd fromByron Pickett , and received a broken cheekbone. Ryan continued to improve throughout the 2007 season, having gathered 319 disposals in 19 games and earning a regular spot in the Fremantle midfield as a winger/onballer who can kick goals.External links
